After one month of the devastating tornado that hit five Havana municipalities, the city shows clear signs of recovery and makes progress in delivering homes.

At least 30 families affected after the impact of the tornado received their homes, thousands have purchased construction materials at subsidized prices and dozens of cases have been resolved.

Luis Antonio Torres, first secretary of the Communist Party in Havana, acknowledged on Tuesday the progress, but demanded greater speed to resolve the problems caused in the housing infrastructure.

More than 7,000 damages in houses and a number higher to 1,000 total and partial collapses was the result of the tornado that especially hit Regla, Guanabacoa and Diez de Octubre municipalities.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel made a new tour over the weekend in the affected areas and attended the delivery of housing and acts related to the rehabilitation of health centers.

Diaz-Canel highlighted the renewed situation in the neighborhoods severely hit by the phenomenon, where before there was abundant debris and sadness, while now there is hope and cleanliness.

The event caused major damages to basic services such as electricity, water supply and communications, which in a short time returned to normal.

As of the priority given by the Cuban government to the recovery, the Council of Ministers is carrying out, with Diaz-Canel at the forefront, systematic follow-up meetings.
